“90 percent of the trafficked girls in Cambodia are local girls that have come from vulnerable populations,” according to James Pond, Founder and Executive Director/Consultant at Transitions. “There’s a significant tie between prostitution, migration and trafficking.”

75 percent of the men that fuel sex trafficking in Cambodia are also local Cambodians or foreign Asians living in the country that “have grown up in a culture in which the commercial sex industry is seen as benign.”
